Hello there! ! I’m Jen Lee, a wedding photographer in Seattle for over 8 years, I consider it an honor and privilege to be entrusted with documenting the most significant chapters in a couple's life. In my early years as a Creative Portrait Director shooting professional models and full editorials, I immersed myself in the world of visual storytelling. Creating these captivating narratives allowed me to move into the real world of weddings. With an innate sense of empathy and a meticulous attention to detail, I strive to create an atmosphere of ease and comfort with my professional knowledge in lighting, posing, and story telling.

Bright and colorful wedding photographer based in Chicago and Seattle but available to capture the nostalgia of your wedding day no matter where you live. I'm passionate about your story, personality, and vision.

I cannot express enough how thrilled my wife Leslie and I are with the engagement photos taken by our incredible photographer Laura Waldron. From the moment we started our photo shoot it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional. Laura’s attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture our love and happiness in every shot exceeded all our expectations. The entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. Laura made us feel comfortable and guided us effortlessly through each pose and location. She knew the best spots in Chicago to highlight our personalities and story, resulting in a collection of photos that are nothing short of breathtaking. The quality of the photos is outstanding, with each image edited to perfection. Our friends and family have been raving about them, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Several of our friends even asked for Laura’s contact information for future events they wanted captured by a professional. For anyone considering a photographer for their engagement, wedding, or any special occasion, we highly recommend Laura as we will be using her again for further family events. We are so grateful for the memories Laura captured for us and will cherish these photos forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish Katy with Klein Photography helped to make the day run smooth and give us the photos of an event we will never forget. She did photos from getting ready (she even helped the bride with her makeup because she was melting), climbed up on tables, benches, playground equipment anything to get the shot. I was one of two bridesmaids in this wedding and she worked with bride on shot list, schedule, and helped keep and wrangle the wedding party to make it all happen! Very profession, kind, and fun! Highly recommend, she truly went above and beyond, and the final product was amazing! As sister of the groom, I was very protective of that day for my little brother and his beautiful bride!

Ren McKenzie Photography

Bellingham, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600

Hi! I'm Lauren, but you can call me Ren. It's so great to meet you! I've had the privilege of photographing love and connection for the past six years, and I still smile when I tell people that this is my job—because it’s never felt like one. Being invited into such intimate and vulnerable moments is something I don't take lightly. I’m not just here to take pretty photos; any photographer can do that. I want to create an experience that genuinely reflects your love story and helps you remember what it felt like to love deeply in this moment, right now.

Awarded Best of Zola
I fell in love with Ren's photography style when I came across her portfolio on another site over a year ago. Ren was our photographer for both our engagement and elopement. She is incredibly technically skilled and professional with her art as a photographer. Neither of us are flashy people. We wanted a low key wedding, and we knew we did not want to compromise on our photos–because we knew and still know our photos will be forever held onto. As a bride, it's easy to become stressed about the small details, but her responsiveness and communication alleviated my anxiety; I was assured our photos would be a greater reflection–a memento–of our story as a couple. She also made us feel very comfortable as the subjects of her photos, which allowed us to be more natural in front of a camera. On the day of our vows, she went above our requests–truly; it would be cliche to say she went above and beyond but she truly did. We had no doubts or fear that our photos would turn out beautifully–and we were right. We will be forever thankful for the personal care and time of Ren. Thank you so much for offering us with these mementos we will forever hold onto on our way through and into our older age.

Traci and Bill, words cannot express how thankful we are to have met the both of you and have you two be our elopement specialist! You guys are professional, thoughtful, fun, and super laid back! The list can go on and on but you two are just amazing human beings! Jennie and I are so glad we stubbled across your website! From day 1, you guys made us feel at ease. There was never a point where we were stressed out (aside from thinking our tent was going to blow over the mountain with us in it LOL), you made sure our special day was everything we imagined plus more. After our initial zoom meeting there was no doubt in our minds that we wanted to elope and we wanted you two to help plan it for us. We all instantly connected, it felt like we were long lost friends who were catching up and getting updated on each others lives. Even though we started planning this a year out, you both made sure to check in with us periodically to see how we were doing. You sent us questionnaires to fill out so that you could really vision how we wanted our special day to go. These questionnaires were very intimate and really got us to think of how far we’ve come as a couple and everything we’ve gone through up until that point and how there were so many things we still wanted to do/explore together. Fast forward to a week out from our wedding day. You both knew that this was going to be our longest road trip yet departing from Toronto, Canada, to Moab, Utah (33 hours with our Tesla). You made it a priority to check in with us to see if we were ok from the day we left to literally 30 mins before our first meet up. In any other situation we might have been a little skeptical meeting up with random strangers at 2am, in a pitch-black parking lot, at the bottom of Corona Arch, in an area with no cell phone reception. This had horror movie written all over it lol but you guys made us feel so comfortable that it seemed like we were just meeting up with friends for a hike. Over the course of our multi-day elopement, you made it about us and everything we asked for. From candid shots to endless laughs, all captured on camera. It didn’t even feel like we were being photographed, it honestly felt like we were all hanging out and taking in the scenery together. This is why you two are amazing at what you do! You somehow manage to work and have fun at the same time! Traci and Bill, you two compliment each other so well! You both listened to what we wanted, were very thorough and detail oriented. Our elopement was so well planned because of the both of you and our video/photo gallery is breathtaking and worth every penny! We requested to have stars, mountains, hiking, and camping as part of this family vacation with our dogs and you guys delivered! We know so many people who got married and can’t remember their wedding day... We can’t say the same as Jennie and I can remember every second like it was yesterday thanks to you two! To any couple who is considering the elopement process, we 1000% recommend doing it with Traci & Bill! They exceed expectations! Sorry this review was so long but we truly wanted to show our gratitude to you guys! Words cannot express how thankful we are to have met the both of you and have you two by our side as we enter the next stage in our lives. We truly gained long time adventure friends! We wish nothing but the best for the both of you! Till we meet again, from our family to yours, THANK YOU! Mike, Jennie, Honcho, & Guapo.

We specialize in capturing the magic of your wedding day. We bring your memories to life with our lenses, turning every unforgettable moment into eternal keepsakes of your love story. We’re dedicated to making your wedding vision a reality. From the first consultation to the final photo delivery, we prioritize open communication and transparency. Whether it's helping round up family members for photos or guiding you on where to put your hands during portraits (it can be awkward, we know!), we’re here to make sure you get the best photos on your wedding day! Let’s create something beautiful together!

In May 2023, I began my search for a photographer. My significant other had just proposed and I was on the hunt for someone amazing. As time went quick, I eventually dedicated myself to researching all the local photographers I could find in Skagit County/near by areas. Among my search, I was looking for high quality and an aesthetically pleasing style of photos/editing. The search was long and tedious, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel… and my light was AK Photography. Alexis and Katrina are the best photographers in Skagit county. They do family photos, weddings, engagement sessions, and much more! AK listened to my SO’s and own ideas, and provided valuable information during our wedding planning. AK photography is informative, collaborative, engaging, easy to communicate with, and the best option compared to all others I met with. The mini engagement session was stunning and matched our vibe. Plus, photos were received back in lighting time! During our wedding (June 2024), they brought every emergency item you could think of and assisted with resolving any problems that arose. Having a large (160 person) wedding was chaotic to say the least. The presence of AK was exactly what we needed, and they are the best fit for a couple looking to get wedding photos taken. Compared to all other photographers, AK brought twice the power and 10 times the productivity. My husband and I would not have felt as comfortable during our wedding if we did not have AK Photography. We will be going back to AK for forever more, and cannot wait to schedule our next mini session! Thank you AK Photography! Your presence, friendship, and photography ability is the best thing we could have asked for! Amazing work and outstanding delivery!

Working with Double Coast was fun and easy. My fiance wasn't stoked about having professional photos taken and thought things would be awkward and posed. Not with Sandra! She was relaxed and really good about catching the "in-between" moments where our personalities were revealed. She's also so prompt with sending a batch of preview photos that are gorgeous. Her style is intimate and timeless and we will definitely treasure her work forever.

We're Natasha and Brian! A husband and wife, PNW elopement photographer duo. When we're not getting slimed by our own slobbery dog Fern, or helping you plan your dream wedding day, you can probably find us alpine lake lounging, making a weird new kimchi flavor, or deep on the forestry roads in our (always dirty) Tacoma blasting some indie alt or rap (there's rarely an in between lol). We're your photographers, die-hard dog petters, and donut-eaters that are all about playful banter, real conversations, and no icky small talk.

For me and my now-husband Ryan, the importance of finding an excellent wedding photographer was unparalleled. We discovered Natasha and immediately were drawn to the nostalgic, film quality to her work. We love the way she captures moments that feel both so real and so dreamy at the same time. It’s an art! Additionally, correspondence with Natasha was always a pleasure. She was speedy in her responses, always answered any questions, and just extremely down-to-earth and easy going. Our introduction to working with Natasha came from our winter engagement session. We chose to do the shoot at home and around our neighborhood in Seattle. Though we were still nervous in front of the camera, Natasha chatted with us and helped us open up. The photos from this December day were cozy, comfortable, and felt completely like us! And finally the Big Day arrived! Natasha and Brian photographed our July 2023 wedding and the results were just perfect - more lovely than we could have dreamed. On top of that, we loved getting to hang out with them! They made our wedding day feel calmer, more relaxed, and allowed us to just be us. We highly recommend Natasha and Brian for all your engagement and wedding photography needs. They’re the best!

Lauren is amazing! When we decided to elope, we had no idea where to even get start. When we found Lauren, she immediately put all of our worries to rest. She immediately knew who to use as an officiant and gave us all the best locations that she could think of. She was definitely more than just our photographer! When we also told her that Peter is a wheelchair user she quickly adjusted the plans and found locations that were easily accessible. On the day of the wedding, Lauren hooked us up and found a beautiful mountain backdrop for our actual little ceremony. Even with all of that, when our rental car got stuck in the snow, she called and got us a tow (for free, it was her father-in-law, lol). We cannot recommend Lauren enough and we are for sure going to use her again whenever we head back to Washington.

We really loved working with Allison. From the moment we reached out to her to see if we were a good fit, she acted professionally and helped us carve out a vision for our wedding day (since we were not a big vision/Pinterest board couple). Allison was willing to go above and beyond in offering us timeline assistance and helping quell any of our worries for the big day. She responded quickly to feedback, took lovely post engagement photos for us and our dog, and kept everything on track on our wedding day itself. Allison and her supporting photographer really impressed our family with their attention to detail in making sure we got the perfect shots for our staged pictures. They offered proactive photo suggestions but we also cool in letting us select what to shoot given all the other demands of a wedding day! We will definitely use Allision for all our future photography needs.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Not only did they capture raw, intimate moments between couples and families, but they elevated those moments in elegant and natural landscapes of the PNW; everything we wanted. We reached out and set up a consultation call immediately. We were initially nervous and felt very unprepared to speak with photographers because we had zero ideas for what our special day would look like, but after our call with Nadia we were confident that Venture Ever After was the right choice for us. She was so knowledgeable and did a TON of legwork planning our timeline to best capture the moments we wanted in the lighting we needed, recommending a variety of locations for some private moments as a couple and group activities with our family, and keeping us grounded and calm throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Nadia took the reigns and gently guided us through the day with compassion and grace. She constantly reminded us that each moment was for us and encouraged us to revel in all of the details. She even conquered some pretty crazy heights armed with multiple cameras and a walky-talky to capture some dramatic and beautiful couple’s portraits. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Nadia is one of the most genuine and kind people I’ve met. She has a knack for keeping elopement/wedding day energy light and helping her clients feel natural in front of the camera. My partner and I truly felt like models. I feel so blessed to have our wedding photographed by her and, above all, be able to call her a friend. I would recommend Nadia at Venture Ever After to everyone planning an elopement, wedding, or adventure in the PNW. In fact, I hope to be able to visit her and capture anniversaries and momentous occasions for our family long into the future.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Booking Grace and Oury Memories just three and a half weeks before our wedding was a stroke of luck! From our first meeting to the wedding day, Grace's professionalism and warmth shone through. She effortlessly directed us and our families during wedding sessions, ensuring every shot was perfect. I'm sure that Grace's creative ideas for poses will add a unique touch to our album, capturing the essence of our love story beautifully. We look forward to seeing her photos in about 8 weeks. Her calm presence on the day put us at ease. Grace is not just a talented photographer; she's a joy to work with. Thank you, Grace, for immortalizing our special day so beautifully!

I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts!

My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma Lee Photography was added to our recommended vendor list before I started at Ray's and throughout the years has become one of our favorites. Emma's professionalism, easy going nature, and dedication to her clients and partners makes her a dream to work with. And of course her photos are gorgeous- always such vibrant, rich colors and the unpredictability that comes with an outdoor space never trips her up. 5 stars! Emma Lee Photography rocks!

Hi! My name is Valerie! I am a hopeless romantic who wants to be behind the lens of your love story. I fell in love with photography in my high school darkroom. I went on to major in media and communication at University of Washington with a focus on visual arts. I have always been a story teller, a big feeler and obsessed with all things love, so photographing weddings is quite literally living my dream. I have photographed over 130 weddings and have the same passion for them as when I first started. I cannot see myself doing anything else.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Valerie as our wedding photographer for our civic ceremony. Valerie's easy-going nature, responsiveness, and meticulous preparation made the entire process seamless. She took the time to scout the venue and guided us to picturesque spots at the Bellevue Botanical Garden, resulting in stunning photos filled with vibrant fall colors. Despite a minor issue, Valerie was quick to address and resolve it, demonstrating her commitment to client satisfaction. We now cherish our photos even more, thanks to Valerie's skill and dedication. I highly recommend Valerie for anyone seeking a talented and reliable wedding photographer.

Katherine was an absolute joy to work with! A positive and upbeat attitude the entire night. She took the time to have conversations with fellow vendors and guests alike - which was so refreshing. Also, great turn around time on photos.

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
Skylar was an incredible vendor to work with! She was kind, funny and on top of it no matter what the situation was. When it comes to photography this women has the natural ability to turn something beautiful into something magnificent! She shot my couple at Skamania Lodge and given with chilly November weather, Skylar kept up a great attitude and made sure my clients and their guests were happy. The photos me and my team received where impeccable! Don't believe me? Go check out her Instagram and let it speak for itself! Not only does Skylar have the utmost skill but her husband Jimmy is also just as talented with videography. If you need a photo/video duo this is definitely your couple! I will continue to speak highly of them and recommend them to all my future clients!

I originally found Masha through Zola and was impressed by her editorial style photos. I am so happy that Masha was available to photograph our wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and so gorgeous all day. My husband was nervous about being in front of the camera but she helped guide our posing and he looks very natural in the end result! Photography is a large part of the wedding day and I'm grateful I spent that time with Masha. I am picky about photos since my dad is very passionate about photography, especially film photography. The photos (both digital and the film ones) turned out absolutely incredible. She took both traditional wedding portraits as well as some very dreamy gorgeous editorial-like photos. It's hard to convey how happy I am about the experience. I'm already dreaming about another vow renewal so I can book Masha again!

No matter who you are or where you came from, everyone has a story, and stories were meant to be told. I tell stories through photography. Weddings are incredibly meaningful and intimate. I’m not just someone with a camera who shows up and takes pictures. I believe in truly connecting and engaging with my clients so I can best understand how I can tell their story. With a bright, clean, and vibrant photography style, I help bring my client’s vision to life through beautiful photos that can be cherished forever.

Jonathan did an amazing job with our photos. The whole experience from a meeting before to consult about how we wanted the day to go, to easy to follow direction and advice on how to get the best possible pictures on the day. Jonathan is competent and quick but also laid back and helped us take the stress off what is already a very stressful day. And then the photos turned out truly special. Even on an overcast day he was able to create some beautiful photos that will last a lifetime for us. He had ideas for poses and framing but also gave us space to do what felt natural. We would LOVE to work with him again. Cannot recommend him enough

My style is rooted in a editorial and documentary approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that capture genuine emotions.

These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

We are more than pleased with both sessions we have done with her and we will absolutely be returning customers.

I have a home in Lansing and Holland and I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to northern Michigan, Mackinac Island and Traverse City to areas of Detroit! I also have condo access in Clearwater, FL and Breckenridge, CO. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani did our wedding in 2022 and we have already had 3 more sessions with her and another on the books for this year. We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha. But seriously, she seems to offer something a little different each time and oh my gosh we are still so blown away everytime we get our photos back from her!! We've even sent more of our family to her so she's basically become our whole extended family photographer :D
